Finally, a book that teaches a man how to be a man. This dangerous book harkens back to a less sheltered and pampered age when, without the aid of digital devices, men relied on military training and outdoor skills to be prepared for any eventuality. Here you can learn how to light a fire in a downpour, set a broken limb, or harvest food from the wild. But you will also find more arcane wisdoms for the truly resourceful, including how to navigate by the sun and stars; cross a swollen river; escape a road ambush; break up a dogfight; fight off an alligator; land a light plane; and tickle a trout.

"Funnier than most survival guides and more useful than most humorous ones, this handbook should be on every man's shelf!"—Country and Border Life
